Abundance and Consumption Rate of Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) on Peaches and Plums
Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), the glassy-winged sharpshooter, is a primary vector of phony peach and plum leaf scald diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. A survey of H. vitripenni...
Analysis of vector behavior as a tool to predict Xylella fastidiosa patterns of spread
The most likely scenarios for Xylella fastidiosa introduction in Central Europe is through infected ornamental plants, with a successive spillover from gardens and parks to cultivated orchards. G...
A New Resource for Research and Risk Analysis: The Updated European Food Safety Authority Database of Xylella spp. Host Plant Species
Following a series of requests for scientific advice from the European Commission starting in 2013, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducted a pest risk assessment and created a comprehe...
BACTERIAL DISEASES THAT MAY OR DO EMERGE, WITH (POSSIBLE) ECONOMIC DAMAGE FOR EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN: NOTES ON EPIDEMIOLOGY, RISKS, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT ON FIRST OCCURRENCE
Bacterial diseases are difficult to control (both chemically and biologically), and are restrained primarily by preventive measures. Most important risk factors for the introduction or spread of ba...
Biology and biometry of sharpshooter Homalodisca coagulata (Homoptera : Cicadellidae) reared on cowpea
Stage-specific survival, growth, developmental biology, and biometry of the sharpshooter Homalodisca coagulata (Say) were studied in the laboratory under controlled conditions of 27 ± 1°...
Categorisation of plants for planting, excluding seeds, according to the risk of introduction of Xylella lfastidiosa
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to provide urgent technical assistance in the field of plant health as regards the list of host plants of Xylella fastidiosa reporte...
Formation of Stylet Sheaths in aere (in air) from Eight Species of Phytophagous Hemipterans from Six Families (Suborders: Auchenorrhyncha and Sternorrhyncha)
Stylet sheath formation is a common feature among phytophagous hemipterans. These sheaths are considered essential to promote a successful feeding event. Stylet sheath compositions are largely unkn...
ROOTSTOCK INFLUENCE ON OCCURRENCE OF HOMALODISCA-COAGULATA, PEACH XYLEM FLUID AMINO-ACIDS, AND CONCENTRATIONS OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA
The influence of three Prunus rootstocks-a domestic plum, a domestic peach, and a peach from Brazil-on the occurrence of the vector of phony peach disease, Homalodisca coagulata, was assessed in a ...
Webinar: Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe – Life history and transmission biology
The second webinar organized by Xf-ACTORS project. Led by Anna Markheiser and Daniele Cornara, it provides an overview of the identified and potential vector species of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe...
